U-Tern

U-Tern

April 28th, 2010

I love U-Tern. The dude’s “Walking on Lightning” and “Bang Bang” are easily two of my favorite blends of the past year and his “P.Y.T.” edit is mindbogglingly charming. Predictably enough, his “Style, Class, Flair” is currently one of my favorite tracks to play out. The perfect complement to yesterday’s “What Am I Supposed To [...]

Chateau Marmont

April 28th, 2010

Chateau Marmont is back with a new EP, “Nibiru” — a bit of a perfect followup to last year’s “Solar Apex.” Both EPs feel like they’re part of a larger story, perhaps a pinnacle that is being built up to. Or maybe that is the very nature of EPs. “Nibiru”, the title track, is a [...]

Treasure Fingers

April 27th, 2010

Spring in New Hampshire in no way, shape, or form resembles the sort of spring anyone would wanna be a part of. The grass, leaves, and flowers? They grow back slowly. The sun? It hides behind a plethora of clouds. And the temperature? Well, it snowed today. Luckily, there are a few things that remind [...]

Devendra Banhart

April 27th, 2010

Devendra Banhart – “Foolin’” Never gave Devendra Banhar much of a try, mostly due to being (unfortunately?) labeled as freak-folk. But “Foolin’” caught my attention as the video is a bit hard to ignore. Starring Devendra Banhart & Joel Virgel With Hecuba (Isabelle Albuquerque & Jon Beasley), Jolieba Jackson and Lady Tigra. Directed by Isaiah [...]

Melbourne’s Harris Robotis is back with 2 very dance floor friendly remixes of Mink Engine and World’s End Press. Very club friendly…. World’s End Press are also worth checking out!

Hurts + Jamaica

Hurts + Jamaica

April 23rd, 2010

I’m not convinced that Jamaica’s remix of Hurts’ “Better Than Love” is better than the original. It might make it more assessable, maybe, but the original is near perfect, even if the original was a bit of departure from what we come to expect from Hurts. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Hurts – [...]

Atari Teenage Riot

Atari Teenage Riot

April 22nd, 2010

Atari Teenage Riot are back from the grave. At first I was a bit hesitant considering Carl Cracks death in 2001, but after first listen I can easily forgive them. ATR will always have a place in my heart. To be honest they were one of the first bands to get me to appreciate electronic [...]

ceo

April 20th, 2010

ceo – “Prologue” Most interesting/promising thing I’ve heard/seen in days, months maybe even years. ceo is playing the mystery marketing angle (bleh), but it is decided that ceo is tied to both Modular and Sincerely Yours. Considering the last band to release on both Modular and Sincerely Yours is an “all time favorite,” we can [...]

Band of Skulls

Band of Skulls

April 20th, 2010

A few months back we intro’d some Band of Skulls… to sum them up, basically some bad ass rock with a bad ass name. Deluka keeps the bad ass turned up on their newest single “Death by Diamonds and Pearls” (maybe not a bad way to go?), but does it by infusing catchy beats and [...]

We posted the 15 second teaser to Monarchy’s video for “The Phoenix Alive” a few weeks ago… and now the full video is now alive and well. Watch it closely because there is a secret page which holds a cut of the video with an alternate ending. It’s all waiting for you. If you figure [...]

Young Empires is a new love. And “Rain of Gold” is the jam. Pan flute fused with disco punk, something old and something new. Let it rain gold… [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Young Empires – “Rain of Gold” (Demo)

Tame Impala

Tame Impala

April 15th, 2010

Tame Impala is the buzziest act on Modular since maybe Cut Copy… which says a lot since Modular always represents the buzziest of the buzzy. “Runway, Houses, City, Clouds” is everything music right this second is all about: syrupy, dreamy stuff to get lost in. And there’s actually some craftsmanship here. It’s kinda hard to [...]

New York’s Jacques Renault seems to be a busy busy man, and I’m a big fan of everything he puts his touches on. His latest efforts include four edits on his On the Prowl edit output Party Breaks. All four edits are superb… Here’s a little taste. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Miranda [...]
